No no no no. I agree about processed pop (pap) that is produced. But these simply have no talent. At all. it's the JohnSargeant syndrome - people don't want to watch to see talent, they watch to laugh at them. And it's sad that these kids are brainwashed enough to want to be embarrassed every week. Mat they make some money and then get a job in tesco

I agree, Cowell gets rich whatever. However the point I was making is that at least when people deliberately screw up the idea of voting for the most 'talented' they are no longer acting as passive consumers of the show. They are deliberately undermining it.

Romanians living in England as opposed to Irish boys living in Ireland.

I don't follow pop music much so I will have to bow to the knowledge of young hipsters like MBBB and tigertot. I will look out for this pairing on the telly.

Don't ask me about Romanians either - just to say the name is a bit of a non starter as there actually not from Rome.

Given the size of the empire, I would have thought that most Romans were in fact from outside the City.

You are clearly a man with taste and an ear for real vocal talent, unfortunately incestuous duets are a big no no this year.
